Awesome, Drex! 
Looks like they were worth the wait.
Color looks like milk that's had Boo Berry sitting in it for too long.
My tires "should" be in today, so I'm hoping to have my Ultras on by the end of the day, too.

Drex......BEAUTIFUL! Costom made to perfection! 3 months was certainly a long time, but well worth the wait based on the pics. You and I do need to get euro strips for a much cleaner look. Keep the pics coming bro!

Thanks, everybody! Yeah, I'd say they were definitely worth the wait. Only thing is, I didn't get a chance to take some better pictures yesterday (ran into rubbing issues with 5 people in the car).
It'll all work itself out, but I will try to take some nicer pics this weekend (since it's supposedly gonna be clear).

I know there is a wheel lock out there that has a key that goes inside rather than the outside, but I think that is only for JDM cars. Not sure though. If you can recommend any, let me know.
How was the drive back? Aight, dawg, we'll chat more later.

Drex, I was wondering this as well.
What about McGard? They have "tuner bolt locks" which might work. Bottom of this page.

Not sure about what length you would need.

SEX - you're using the tuner locks, correct?
Just picked up my car with the Ultraleggeras installed. Had to pull over to the side after I saw them on the car.
Drex, I'll have pics up tomorrow night, hopefully. Damn, they're nice, and those center caps add to it, too.
Buttdyno says that my car feels faster (rims/tire combo is a decent amt lighter than the lead-like C7 rims). Rainy here, so didn't try anything stupid on the new tires.

Yes, I did. Was a nice little bonus that I wasn't expecting.
I also got from Tirerack the correct rim from your initial order.
Got these little crescent-shaped white OZ stickers, too. I have absolutely no use for them, and am scared to think of what some people do with theirs.
Very pleased for $1200 in rims, $340 to powdercoat, and $1065 for the Yokos/installation. Glad I didn't buy Brabus.

. Actually I wonder about the weight of Brabus VI 18s vs. Ultraleggera 19s...hrm..flip

Wuddup! Yeah, I'll take better pics for sure, everybody. Just didn't wanna do it this weekend, cuz I knew it was gonna rain and didn't get a chance on Sunday. But I'll post 'em as soon as I do it.
